Pokkén Tournament DX announced for Nintendo Switch

Not quite the new Pokémon game some were hoping for.

In a short Pokémon Direct today, Nintendo has announced that Pokkén Tournament DX will be the first Pokémon game coming to the Nintendo Switch system.

The game will join ARMS and Splatoon 2 as part of Nintendo's E3 lineup, with a Pokkén Tournament DX invitational tournament taking place on Wednesday June 14. It'll be streaming from 6.30 pm, BST.

Pokkén Tournament DX is a fighting game, originally released on the Wii U. It's a mashup of Tekken fighting gameplay and characters from Pokémon. The Switch version adds some new elements, including new Pokémon from the most recent games in the series,
